Yeah, my weak spot is AC, but your build will definitely help with that. I have not heard anything from Bjorn in this game or the Iobarian Saga - Is he still active? i thought for sure that Dieredon's recent comments towards him would elicit some hearty response. :-)

Me too...I know our PCs do not necessarily get along in Randall's PbP, but I think he is a great player, and I am looking forward to a new sort of interraction in yours. Let me know if you hear anything.

Hey all. Sorry for the prolonged absence. I moved last Friday and then promptly got sick. I didn't have Internet access at home (and none of my neighbors were nice enough to leave me an unsecured wireless network). The cable company finally came out today to install the cable modem at home just in time for me to return to work. I'll get to posting as soon as I can tonight.

Honestly I think we're all interesting - Wesh and Bramble have particular depths; Bramble as she's just a damn cool character and Wesh because there's so much more to get from him... kindof enigmatic lol.

Skane I just play as a straight up Northman fighter, so he's pretty shallow lol, hoping we have some further adventures after 3 Days...

My initial gut reaction was a stealth team getting in ninja style and a brute squad to smash in, attract attention? They meet in the middle...

BUT splitting the group against a bandit leader, some cultists [one of whom will probably havic magicks] may be too risky.

As/when the action goes down, should there be two "groups" or we get split up - Bethony will be key as a fast and mobile fighter who can support individuals and groups very quickly.

Skane can take a licking, fight defensively and protect others with his shield abilities... shoulder to shoulder with Bjorn or Dieredon [using the curveblade] that combo could be nasty. His high AC, decent HP and defensive fighting means Skane can probably suck it up for a while should we tackle anything nasty [Bandit leader/cultists etc]

I agree. Maybe we put everyone in position as close to the front as we can get, and I start by trying to take out a few from range, then we bust in. If we want to split, my stealth abilities and movement should lend itself well to getting inside, but I agree that this is highly risky - splitting the group.

About to enter the climax of the story, I think the team needs all the help it needs. I wouldn't mind if Bjorn returns and requests for a character rebuild once you've taken his char to level 2.

I think I would take in a new pc later on the party's return to Deeptown.
If Bjorn doesn't return by then, maybe he'll chill out, spending his loot if he survives, drinking it off at Deeptown's taverns.

Now, since Bjorn and Rianna are related, I'll give her the option of what to do with her character, regarding this scenario.

At level 3, I would give the option to those interested to take on hirelings, what do you think?

It's optional after all. Seeing the group beginning to establish themselves should attract people for a piece of the action. Not to mention a more welcoming environment for other support pcs to join in.

Hey all! Sorry for the absence (and doubly sorry for not responding to the e-mail.. yet). Work is still hectic. I have also taken on some additional quasi-real world responsibilities. I hate to leave this game, but I think it's best for the group that you find another player. Thank you all so much for the great role playing. I know that this experience is going to show in my future games.
